Eygalieres History, Article
In Eygalieres you can find the remains of an aqueduct that the Romans built to
bring water from the northeast of Eygalieres to join with springs in Maussane on
their way to turn mill stones at Barbegal near Arles.
From Arles the Romans built a canal beside the Rhone where they could ship the
abundant produce of Provence to their empire.
The 12 th century chapel on the road to Orgon not far from the center of the village
of Eygalieres was dedicated in 1222 to Saint Sixte II, a Pope of the early
Christian church who was martyred by the Romans in 258 AD.
Another church at the top of the hill in Eygalieres commemorates St Sixte II's
successor, St Laurent, also executed by the Romans three days after the death of
St Sixte.........
